Certified ILO Start and Improve Your Business training, delivered to women and youths who want to turn an idea into a real, structured business.
Applied business analysis, cost-avoidance reviews, KPI design, and strategic planning — bringing enterprise-grade discipline to growing businesses.
Designing measurement frameworks and outcome reporting so that programmes, projects, and businesses can prove what they deliver.
The Start and Improve Your Business methodology takes a founder through four distinct stages — from the first idea to a scaled, expanding business. HiraConsults delivers the full ladder.
Spot opportunities, generate ideas, choose a viable one to pursue.
Turn the idea into a working business with a clear, simple plan.
Stabilise records, costing and cashflow; strengthen the operation.
Grow, scale, and create jobs in your community.
Fatima Hassan Masanawa founded HiraConsults to bring the discipline of enterprise strategy to women and youths building businesses across Africa. A Chartered Tax Fellow with a master's in Public Sector Accounting, she spent 14 years at the Federal Inland Revenue Service, where she pioneered the agency's first formal Business Analysis practice and its first Monitoring & Evaluation framework.
Her signature work is cost avoidance and measurable results — the same discipline she now applies to making women-led and youth-led businesses structured, fundable, and built to last.
For founders ready to do the deeper work, the four-week cohort takes you through the full Start and Improve Your Business journey with implementation support and personal guidance.
A guided four-week intensive followed by three months of implementation support, designed to move you from idea to operating business — with systems, plans, and a clear path forward.
The free 2-day training in June is the best place to begin. Reserve your seat, or reach out directly if you would like to talk about working with us.
